Fiction
From the moment of its publication in 1961, Revolutionary
Road was hailed as a masterpiece of realistic fiction and as
the most evocative portrayal of the opulent desolation of
the American suburbs. It's the story of Frank and April
Wheeler, a bright, beautiful, and talented couple who have
lived on the assumption that greatness is only just around
the corner. With heartbreaking compassion and remorseless
clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank and April mortgage
their spiritual birthright, betraying not only each other,
but their best selves. In his introduction to this edition, novelist Richard Ford
pays homage to the lasting influence and enduring power of
Revolutionary Road.
